She tugged it up to his stomach and over his chest. He broke the kiss long enough to set her down and pull it the rest of the way off.
Grasping her shirt, he pulled it off and tossed it aside. Following her afternoon training session, she smelled of sweat and baby powder from her deodorant, but neither of those scents could mask her increased pomegranate aroma as it grew thicker on the air.
He ran his fingers over the silken skin of her shoulders and along her black sports bra. Her ample breasts swelled along the top of it, and he couldn’t resist dipping his finger into the cleavage it revealed.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmured as he grasped the bra and tugged it over her head.
Callie looked up at him as his ravenous gaze ran over her body. Her toes curled as his fingers dipped into the waistband of her black yoga pants.
“And so sexy,” he said as he tugged her toward him.
The rigid evidence of his arousal prodded her belly as he started sliding her pants down. Callie remained unmoving as he knelt before her to pull them lower.
When she lifted her foot, he pulled off her sneaker and sock before turning his attention to her other foot. When he finished, he could pull off her pants. His hands caressed her calves before rising higher to her thighs; he nudged her legs apart.
She spread her legs wider as he teased her with his fingers while kneeling before her. His eyes latched on her face as he watched her reaction to his touch.
And oh, how she reacted to him. His touch made her come alive as her skin became electrified and her hips swayed toward him.
Lucien drank in her full breasts, rising and falling with each of her rapid exhalations. He’d gotten so he knew her well and could tell when she was nearing her breaking point.
When he pulled his hand away, he relished her groan of disappointment as he rose before her, grasped her hips, and guided her to the bed. He didn’t put her on the mattress but stopped her at the edge of it. Grabbing his sweatpants, he pulled them down his legs and kicked them off. She reached for him, but he gripped her hips and turned her away from him.
Callie started to protest, but her protest died when he bent her over the bed and stepped behind her. Turning her head, she rested her cheek on the mattress as his thighs parted her further and his hands lifted her hips.
Her heart raced as he guided his shaft into her. Closing her eyes, she moaned at the exquisite sensation of having him inside her again. It had been too long since she felt him filling her. The rest of the world ceased to exist as she became centered on the hardness of his body and the thickness of his cock throbbing inside her.
“Fuck,” he growled. “You’re so fucking tight.”
His words and the hoarseness of his voice thrilled her more. He placed a palm between her shoulder blades and pulled most of the way out before slipping in again. When Callie lifted her ass higher to give him better access, his other hand squeezed her hip.
Lucien slid his hand further down her back and then up again as he savored the feel of her silken flesh while her sheath clenched around his cock. Leaning over her, he stilled within her as he kissed her shoulder before turning his mouth to her ear.
“You’re mine, Callie. From now until forever, you’re mine.”
His words caused her heart to stutter a little with apprehension. She loved him, but the idea of signing her life over to him was more than a little terrifying. However, what wasn’t terrifying in this life?
He released her hip to run his hand around to stroke her breast before sliding his hand between her legs. The exquisite sensation of his finger stroking her clit, while his body pressed her into the mattress, was almost unbearable.
When he kissed her shoulder, his fangs scraped her skin, and her breath hitched. Was he going to bite her?
She held her breath while she waited to see what he would do, but she realized he wouldn’t do anything without her permission. Was that something she was willing to give?
Her fingers twisted in the bedspread as her mind spun and her body became his. When his fangs grazed her skin, her heart hammered in anticipation. She was petrified of experiencing that pain again, but she
